Doctor Turned Serial Killer in WWII Paris

An interesting story of a respected doctor in occupied Paris that used the cover of war to hide his killing spree.

[O]ne man used the lawlessness for his own terrible purposes, killing perhaps as many as 150 people and dismembering and burning their bodies.

It wasn't until thick black smoke seeped into buildings in a fashionable part of the city that firefighters and police found body parts scattered around an elegant townhouse — setting off a manhunt that led them, eventually, to Marcel Petiot.
